Creamy Baked Tilapia & Spinach Casserole

This Creamy Baked Tilapia Casserole is layered over spinach and smothered in a creamy sauce that can be ready within 10 minutes once it hits the oven.

My friend Lilia shared this recipe and mentioned how it was liked by her family and relatives. Baked fish can be easily substituted in this recipe with the kind you like and as also the cheese blend, but I must say shredded Monterey jack melts beautifully. Use as much spinach as you can pack into your baking dish because spinach does shrink quite a bit.

After all, this Baked Tilapia Recipe would not only work great for a company meal but can easily become one of that makeover again dishes!

Ingredients for baked tilapia:

5 tilapia fillets (1lb)

8 oz bag of fresh spinach

3 tbsp butter, sliced

1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese

Ingredients to make sauce for baked tilapia:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tsp old bay seasoning

1/2 tsp adobo seasoning

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp salt

1. First, pack spinach onto the bottom of a baking dish. Top with butter slices and layer the fish fillets over the top

.

2. Then, combine the sauce ingredients and evenly spread over the top of the casserole. Finally, sprinkle with cheese and bake in a preheated to 500 degrees F oven for 10 minutes.

Note: The thicker the fish fillets the longer you may need to bake your fish.

Alyona ~ this recipe was delicious! Just an FYI, I used frozen fillets (that had been thawed in the refrig) and cooked them for the specified 10 minutes. Since there were only two of us eating, I cut the recipe in half and just ensured that there was a nice bed of spinach on the bottom.

I love this recipe, especially the sauce on top. I don’t use tilapia, I use cod, and it works out just as well! The sauce and the spinach are sooooo good. Like creamed spinach! Thank you for this recipe!
